The only squeezing required is before seating the cups into the pinion, which can usually be done by hand.  Once the u-joint cups are seated in the pinion, they don't need to be held when tightening the u-bolts... other than just making sure everything stays straight.

I finished the install of the driveshaft and I saw that the small tabs in the yoke keep the cups seated. Once you get the cups past the tab you can toque the nuts on the u-bolt. Tried using the clamp but it just got in the way.
